As Milan said there is a condition to select a specific folder.

But it's not an issue, unless you don't look at your mail for more than
n days - the filters only apply to new messages, the messages you are
trying to get rid of are not 'new' and the 'new' messages will be less
than n days old.

(Ctrl-Y doesn't trigger a filter run globally across everything.)

I thought Ctrl-Y only applies filters to the current message (that's
why it's in the 'Message' menu not the 'Folder' menu or anywhere else).
You would need to do Ctrl-A, Ctrl-Y to select all messages in the
folder then apply filters.
